<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Dear RBMS colleagues,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I would like to submit a question regarding the coding of language(s) in the MARC records fixed fields. For our collection of original prints and drawings, we have always used the
code "zxx" in 008:35 unless text was printed on the source of information. In other words, when cataloguing an engraving with the title penciled under the image, we would not take into account the penciled text and would use the code zxx. Looking however at
the PPOC, I saw examples where the language of manuscript information present in the source of information appears to be coded (e.g.
<a href="https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2010647308/">https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2010647308/</a><span style="color:black">, where the coding “eng” probably relates to the annotation “Artist’s proof”</span>).
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">In MARC 21, I found the following information : “For all other still images, including original or historical graphic material and opaque and non-opaque graphic material, and for
three-dimensional artifacts, subfield $a contains the code(s) of languages associated with the material, i.e., captions or other text associated with the item or collection that are part of the chief source of information.” No distinction seems to be made
based on whether the text is printed or handwritten … I also checked the DCM, but I did not find anything relevant to this issue.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">What do you think is the best practice? Should I continue to code "zxx" or take into account the language of the text handwritten on documents (including numbering statements and
title)?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
